Cool game, many magic, so wow.
Didn't like the game
I don't know what this game has against multiple cities, but it's stupid. You get penalties for having more than three? Not very 4x of it. This has been a trend in some of these more modern games to try to minimize how much you play. It's stupid. Instead of creating good game mechanics, they create bad mechanics and then penalize you for wanting to play the style of game this was designed to draw you in for. It's just another bad variant of Master of Magic. It almost lets you customize things in a fun way. It almost lets you sit back and enjoy things. It just spends soooooo much time trying to find ways to punish you for anything interesting so it's just meh, and unfun. In this particular game, it's unfun because there are just too many layers of things that all do the same things in different ways. So you have a bunch of similar mechanics that sit next to each other, via the expansions. It makes it look like you have a bunch of great options, except they all look pretty much the same after awhile. Just a bunch of repeats, really, ordered up a little different. Not a lot of imagination. Just a lot of copy cat stuff from other games, groups, and organizations that they couldn't even be original about.
Just another Game that upon release, adds more content that improves the game that they make you pay for.
If you are not looking at a loading screen due to people being out of sync in mutliplayer, you will be looking at your desktop wallpaper. Why? Cause this game loves to crash so much that mutliplayer is literally unplayable
Игра - супер. Много интересных механик, процесс игры не наскучивает и в целом, если рассматривать игру, сугубо в формате сюжетки против ботов - мне нравится. Однако, игра имеет возможность игры по сети, что я ценю кратно сильнее в самой игре, ведь времяпрепровождение с друзьями, сражениями против общего врага или с друг другом - вселяют в любую игру ещё больший спектр положительных эмоций, чего уже не скажешь об онлайне AOW4. Вы столкнётесь с невероятным множеством рассинхронов, крашей, пропавших армий и откатов. Именно онлайн, должен был сделать из игры лучшее, что можно было найти в такого рода сфере стратегий, но именно онлайн её сделал неиграбельной.
[h1]자신이 판타지 세계관을 좋아하고, 4X 게임이 취향이라고 한다면 추천합니다. 재플레이 가치가 높습니다.[/h1] [h2]개요[/h2] 영웅을 성장시키고, 다양한 이벤트를 선택하고 경험하며, 자신만의 빌드로 세력을 만들어가는 재미가 있는 게임입니다. 스토리맵, 도전맵을 다 즐겨도 랜덤 맵 생성 기능으로 재플레이 가치를 높였습니다. 자신만의 팩션을 만들어서 컨셉 플레이도 가능합니다. [h2]시작하신다면[/h2] 구매 초반에는 자동 전투, 자동 내정을 사용하지 않고 진행하세요. 왜냐하면 마법서, 스킬트리, 제국트리 등의 모든 선택이 전투와 내정에 관련이 있기 때문입니다. 어느 정도 익숙해지고 중요하지 않은 전투나 후반부 내정을 자동으로 진행하세요. 당신은 왕으로써 다양한 안건(이벤트)를 처리해야 합니다. 설정 - 인터페이스 - 알림 설정에서 불필요하다고 생각되는 이벤트 알림을 줄이세요. "단축키'N': 이벤트 선택", "단축키'Space': 이벤트 건너뛰기"를 활용하세요. [h2]참고사항[/h2] DLC가 많고, 앞으로도 많이 나올 것이 단점입니다. 취향에 맞아야 합니다. 본편만 구매하고 플레이하시다가 재미있으시면 추가로 DLC를 구매하시기를 추천합니다. 4X 게임이기에 한판의 플레이 시간이 깁니다. 여유가 있어야 끊김없이 플레이할 수 있습니다. DLC가 나올 때마다 본편 포함 대규모 패치가 있는 편이고, 밸런스 패치도 꾸준하여 사기 빌드가 있으면 사라집니다. 오래 즐기시려면 창의력, 탐구심이 필요합니다. 다양한 팩션, 빌드를 운용하고 즐길 수 있지만 전부 강제적이지 않습니다.
rad
Najlepsza strategia tego typu i zdecydowanie najbardziej rozbudowana. Ilość mechanik i jakość gry na najwyższym poziomie. Po prawie 200h wciąż nie znam całego kontentu bo gra wciąż jest rozwijana.
It is incredible how nice to play this game on a handheld with SteamOS. Mine is not Steam Deck, but Legion Go S, so can't vouch for Deck performance. Controls are very nice. I think it's a rare game of this kind of complexity that doesn't require you to sit in front of a computer.
